One of the first questions I would ask (Of your mates), is are you, (I mean they), still received medical discharge benefits?

If the answer is no, it depends on your prognosis, the chances, likelyhood of it reocurring and whether your particular MRO, Or whatever its called nowheredays), considers that you will be re-employable, taking into account your previous, (Sorry your mates), previous affliction.

I am no expert, but lets say your mate(s) were cured 5 months ago and have failed to declare it, and then try's to rejoin, there may be a slight integrity issue.

Myself, I was discharged due to allergic reaction to the ship's water supp. I could have been drafted permanent shore base but elected for discharge. To look at me you see nothing wrong but if I was to take a shower onboard then I'd be looking like corned beef in no time.

Edit- Think i'm a bit over the entry age limit now and happy in my chosen new career! So no! I'm not fishing for snippets on how "I" could rejoin.

No mate, trust me I have not made it up, nor am I trying to pick a fight. I was at work today, had some time to kill and I have read a thread identical to the topic of this one. Anyway lets leave it there shall we.

Yeah,i'm receiving a pension. Different scenario for me though.Its not something than can be cured per se..only "relieved". Its always there (A bit like Gonners).

Back on track though. If say a squaddie was med discharged with say (anything that would call for a discharge in the then current circumstances) but later overcame or was cured of the problem could he rejoin?

But to use a lying gits phrase (By that I mean to say, a politicians reply), I refer the honorable Gentleman to the reply I gave earlier.

But would go on to add, that providing the individual has been upfront, his previous annual reports were satisfactory (Prior to discharge), in other words they were not glad to get rid of him/her and that they have age on their side, I can't see a problem.

But there again, I no longer work for the MOD, so what do I know. (That's my disclaimer). I think you would be better of trying the medical section of ARRSE, for a more detailed response.
